Comments:I bought this with the intention to use it as a fish trap. I had a smaller one, but it was too intimidating for the fairly large fish I was trying to catch. Well, the size was great and the fish swam into and out of it with ease, however, the sliding trap door did not work properly and would get stuck half way down. Needless to say, the fish was not impressed and got away several times. I finally sanded the edges of the door with some fine grit sandpaper so that it would slide more smoothly. That did the trick and my big fish is now happily transferred and living in my 330 gallon tank.
My opinion: If you're going to advertise this as a fish trip, then it should work well from the start without having to modify it.

Love it!

Comments:I purchased the XL about a month ago and have had nothing but great results in acclimating new store bought fish. I've had trouble over the years with finicky fish this has helped tremendously. I had a slight issue with the part of the product but Cindy M. from there customer service facilitated an acceptable solution expeditiously. I highly recommend this product and exceptional service.

Comments:Some of the older reviews state that the AccliMate is made overseas. This used to be the case but for the last couple of years the AccliMate has been entirely manufactured in the USA! The quality and functionality has GREATLY improved since I first invented it in 2008. I use it personally every time I add or move anything, fish, coral, inverts. It really is the Swiss Army Knife of reef keeping! ~Wes

Comments:This is one of the greatest inventions for us saltwater fish people, You no longer have to wait for the fish to acclimate, you can go do something else for two or three hours, I like to acclimate my fish a long two to three hours now , when before I tried to rush it at one to two hours, I have not had any luck using it as a fish trap, one of the reasons I bought it!! The acclimator alone is worth it , I love this tank !!! Worth every penny. It lets me do my thing instead of watching if a hose is spilling saltwater over my wood floor, or just spilling everywhere. Love it, still I wish I could catch fish with it , I will keep trying, and give you an update...Dave

Good idea but falls short.

Comments:This product is a good idea but with one problem. The way it's designed to attach to the outside of the main tank with suction cups means that the temperature will be dropping in the acclimation chamber during a long acclimation period. This may not be as big a deal in the summer but in the winter it can mean a drop of more than a few degrees. If you're going through all the trouble to acclimate carefully, how can you temperature shock the fish at the end? To avoid this I've tried to put the chamber inside the tank but the suction cups work so well that it's really hard to "unstick" it when finished. This could have been avoided if the chamber was fitted with a hanging type holder rather than the suction cups.

Comments:I've used this to trap, transport and acclimate fish & invertebrates and it's never let me down. I was a bit skeptical of the suction cups at first but boy oh boy do they stick. Providing the lid is secured properly with the velcrow sticker, it will NOT leak any water. There was one little problem I ran into that I sadly didn't notice until after I had trapped a fish. The screws that hold the suction cups in place weren't really tight so water was slowly leaking from them. After the fish was removed, I tightened the screws a bit and it's never leaked one drop since - even while completely full. Very handy.

Comments:I had an opportunity to use the XL model with a large specimen I recently bought. I thought that I should acclimate it properly. The first thing I noticed were the oversize suctions cups that hold the unit to the outside of the tank. They held the unit securely for the time I acclimated the coral. I was very pleased with the result. The unit worked perfectly as advertised. I was impressed with the results. I think this is the only way to go if you want to acclimate a valuable animal. I had a question and contacted their costumer service department and they were very happy to assist me.
I would highly recommend it to a friend.
